More pix from time capsule opening

If any water-proofing sealants had been applied to the Charlottesville time capsule dug up Sunday afternoon, they weren't evident during the public ceremony at which an array of water-soaked items were plucked from the 50-year-old metal box.
One after another, soggy papers and moist memorabilia were extracted from the container, which was unearthed from under nearly a foot of concrete, since one sidewalk had been built atop another.
"We should not be critical," said Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society board member Preston Coiner.
